and my sister is always in center spot light

i feel so invisible

i dont know what to do

can anyone help me?

Answer 1

perhaps they feel you are more self sufficient. that you can handle your own, letting them know how you feel is very important. Perhaps writing a letter to them will help you get your feelings across.

Answer 2

Im the same!! I'm the oldest of three and its ALWAYS bout my bro or sister?

Answer 3

Try taking up a hobby...such as sports, playing an instrument,ect ect....make it something YOU can really enjoy.....practice and practice at it until you shine like the golden sun...YOUR MOM WILL NOTICE THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO THIS HOBBY AND WILL NO DOUBT PRAISE YOU ON YOUR SUCCESS....in the meantime talk to her about how you feel....try starting out with something like this.."mom I really love you and {your sisters name} but I dont feel like you notice me as much as you do {your sisters name}.....I just wish you would take the time to realize what makes me special too....I hope you understand  what Im trying to say...." . Be sure you are alone with your mom while you discuss your feelings so that she can fully focus on your feelings and nothing or anybody elses......good luck!

PS try talking to your sister too....she may be of help....she might even understand

PPS I hope I helped
